Chapter 49: Bodhi Beads
My dad came to my second uncle's pharmaceutical factory.
He boiled a pot of barley water, and after pouring it around the medicine tube that had cost 10 million to build, a cloud of black smoke immediately rose from the ground.
Immediately, Tang Wuzhou heard the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling around him.
According to my dad's instructions, he sprinkled the beans in his hand as he walked, and someone behind him kept talking, it was a woman's voice was very high and thin, mixed with the sound of electricity.
Tang Wuzhou didn't speak, walked to the factory gate, and threw all the remaining barley out of the door.
After everything returned to normal, Tang Wuzhou returned to the factory.
My dad squatted in front of the medicine cylinder, and he told Tang Wuzhou that in fact, the place where the medicine factory was located was a mass grave 70 years ago.
Hearing this, Tang Wuzhou's back suddenly felt cold.
He looked around, and it was unusually quiet in the huge pharmaceutical factory.
But he seemed to feel that countless pairs of eyes were secretly looking at him from countless hidden corners, staring at him fixedly, motionless.
Tang Wuzhou came to the provincial capital in his twenties, and before doing business, he was just an ordinary grassroots civil servant, with a not high salary.
He had barely been to this place, and he didn't know much about what had happened here before. He said that this was a mass grave before, but he really didn't know.
My dad said that the provincial town had been bombed by Japanese planes before.
On that day, the whole province was bleeding, and all the unclaimed bodies were pulled over, dug a big earth pit, and buried in this place.
According to reports at the time, about 10,000 people were killed in the bombing, and only Shaoshu's body was found and buried. The rest, all piled up into a hill.
That scene was terrible.
Piles of corpses were buried in such a large pit and filled with earth.
After a long time, trees were planted and roads were built, and cars came and went on it. Later, a group of workers came here and built houses and factories on the mound.
It is easy to forget people's memories, although this place is still very desolate, the mass grave, seventy years have passed, and very few people remember it.
After saying this, my dad pointed to the blackened barley water, the black smoke was gone, only the blackened circles of sewage.
My dad said, "Wuzhou, do you know what these are?" ”
"What?"
"These are the grievances that have accumulated in the mass grave."
"Grievances!?"
Tang Wuzhou was stunned, and such a picture suddenly appeared in front of his eyes:
It was a sunny day, and the Japanese plane suddenly streaked through the sky.
The ground was in a mess in an instant, and blood flowed like a river.
Crying and screaming mingled, the air smelled of blood, and the grief was frozen.
The corpses dragged out of the mud, mixed with deep resentment, were sealed in the earth and forgotten after a long time.
Tang Wuzhou looked at my dad and said in a low voice: "You mean, I dug out this mass grave by digging the foundation of the medicine cylinder?" ”
"Not necessarily." My dad said, "Actually, I suspect that the owner of the furniture factory who dug up this mass grave was the previous one. ”
"How?"
My dad got up, and he walked to a dark corner of the factory, and after rummaging through it a few times, he actually picked up a piece of wood from the ground.
He asked Tang Wuzhou: "Why did the furniture factory here suddenly not do it before, do you know the reason?" ”
My second uncle shook his head.
After a pause, my dad said, "Before I came to you today, I actually went to get a general idea of what was going on. The furniture factory was a partnership between two people, and then suddenly one day, one of them withdrew his shares.
Ju said that he owed a huge amount of loan sharks outside and could not pay it off at all. So he could only ask to sell the factory to repay the debt, but the other partner refused, so he bought the other half of the shares.
But within a few days, the person who withdrew his shares disappeared, and according to everyone's speculation, it should be the person who was put to death by the loan shark. But where he really went, no one knows......"
After listening to what my dad said, Tang Wuzhou looked down at the blackened ground:
"You mean, the missing shareholder is the one I dug up half a year ago?"
"Quite possibly."
My dad nodded: "In the past few decades, the ground here has been raised by five or six meters, and after the person was killed, the burial process, although they did not dig a mass grave, but it should have broken a small hole in the mass grave."
The thousands of ghosts that were killed by the bombing decades ago were soaked out little by little, and in the process of burial, the pit was refilled, which was equivalent to sealing the grievances again.
And when you hit the foundation of this medicine tube, you once again released those people's distant grievances, and they penetrated along the pipes, and those people in your factory were not actually poisoned, but entangled by these grievances! ”
When Tang Wuzhou heard this, he was so shocked that the whole person was stunned.
If my dad is right, it's much scarier than the black dog's wraith.
A black dog wants his own son, so how should these thousands of dead people deal with it?
Seeing that Tang Wuzhou's face turned pale, my dad patted him on the shoulder: "Wuzhou, you are worried, the thing I gave you just now, let you take a step and throw a grain, do you recognize it?" ”
"Of course I do, isn't that barley?"
"Then you know what else is the name of barley?"
“…… I don't know. ”
"Bodhi beads."
"Bodhi Bead...... It's ......"
My dad paused for a moment, and then said, "Those who were killed by the bombing were all unjustly killed, and they were blown up to the point that they could only be thrown into the mass grave."
Speaking of which, they are also very pitiful, but the resentment in their hearts is accumulated over the years, and it is very huge.
This barley is also called Bodhi beads.
I...... I read one, and the book said that boiling porridge with barley and giving it to the unjustly killed ghosts is equivalent to using Bodhi to give them an excess, so that their resentment will be eliminated.
Then, use the Bodhi beads to guide them and let their souls return to the Yellow Spring, which is the best destination for them.
As soon as they're gone, aren't you all right? ”
Tang Wuzhou listened, oh, and his hanging heart also let go:
"No wonder you asked me to do this just now, it turned out that you were giving them an excess."
My dad nodded and said, "That's right." They're gone, and the workers' illnesses will be cured tomorrow at most, so don't worry. ”
This method of exorcism is so simple.
Tang Wuzhou was a little incredulous, and was about to ask something again, but when he saw my father's frowning slightly, he looked at Tang Wuzhou: "Wuzhou, in your factory, the biggest headache now is another ghost!" ”
